(Dan Gennoe talks to the new singer/songwriter with a growing cult following)

"In the last two months I must've done at least 200 interviews," says Imogen Heap. She's excited, but also exhausted - and a little worried...

"What's strange and daunting for me is all this extra stuff. Recording's fine, and doing the videos. It's when people actually listen to the music that you realise it's no longer about you and your piano making songs. It's thinking people are listening to your music in New Zealand that's weird. That does my head in."

Her album was finished last September; since then Imogen's time has been taken up with the less-than-creative side of music - the promotion of a new artist; a stark and frustrating contrast to the year-and-a-half spent writing, recording and producing.

"I could write a lot more if I had more time. I've got my little [Yamaha] QY70 and occasionally I do write some loops, but I only get an hour at a time to write. I've got so much going on at the moment, and to really work I need a day free to clear my mind and then another day to actually do some writing."
